Food

Location

We've hand-picked Yayasan Bali Purnati because of the previously wonderful experience Dr. Jinju had as an attendee in 2011. (It's also the venue of choice for the famous Bali Spirit Festival.) The best part of having our retreat here is that we will have the entire center to ourselves!

Please come here to learn more about this magical location located 15 - 20 minutes south of Ubud, the cultural center of Bali.

Teachers

Jinju Dasalla, PhD, RYT, is on a mission to share the medicine of “flow” and inspire the awakening, honoring, and celebration of the sacred feminine fire and wisdom within all beings.

Dr. Dasalla is a co-founder of the NaiAsa Institute (formerly Soul Flow Alchemy), where she directs programs for individuals and organizations pioneering new paradigms of healing, education and transformational learning based in scientific, spiritual and somatic principles.

One of Dasalla’s many passions includes sharing NaiAsana™ yoga, her most recent creation, as a way for women to come home - home to the heart, the body, and the soul.

NaiAsana is a Hawaiian-inspired somatic & shamanic healing practice weaving yoga, dance, and flow arts, to awaken the essence of the Sacred Feminine.

Both on and off the mat, this vinyasa of spiral, rhythmic and cross-body movement patterns, often incorporating props such as poi or the hula hoop, powerfully restores and re-patterns the nervous system.

Dr. Dasalla is also a former Neuroscience Research Fellow of the National Institute for Health (NIH), a published author in the April 2018 Brain Research Bulletin, faculty member of Hawai’i Yoga Institute, and was featured in Elle.com, after her successful debut at Wanderlust 2016.

She is also the author of an upcoming book, Beauty that Transforms, based on the successful transformational coaching program birthed in Hawai’i.

She currently lives in Bali with her beloved Nova and their 3 ½-year-old son, Sekai.

Cassandra has been immersed in the world of Holistic Health & Mysticism from a very young age. She was burned in a fire at the age of 3 which lead to a life-long journey of healing.

While being hospitalized and filled with numerous synthetic medications and ointments, her insides (her physical & emotional body) suffered trauma and health issues.

In her teens, she suffered from many reproductive ailments stemming from dairy allergies that lead her to find healthy, holistic approaches to healing the years of antibiotics, food allergies, and trauma.

Through many years of higher education, self-education, practice, and assisting others, she has found that healing the womb and honoring a woman's moon time through herbs, breath, movement, and mystical practices is the best way to truly step into your highest expression of self and is the most effective and rapid way to heal trauma and ailments in the womb center.

She lives her life passionately based on holistic health, is dedicated to sharing her journey and knowledge with women around the globe, and fervently believes, "When a woman heals her womb, she also heals the womb of the Earth."

An illustrious and gentle force, Tracy is a woman of Spirit above all else. She is a life-long student of yoga and dedicated to the rehabilitation of feminine balance on this planet.

She helps those who are ready to evolve to restore their connection to their innate wisdom and body consciousness through her emerging brand; Ynnovative Yoga; a slow, therapeutic somatic experience that weaves in the cultural wisdom of Chinese meridian healing, the ancient philosophy and practices of yoga, and the progressive, therapeutic work of myofascial unwinding.

Tracy has 14 years of bodywork training and private practice experience, 7+ years of yoga facilitation, and over 10 years of hoop dance practice!

Cadence is the founder of Cadencia Photography and her work is known around the world. (We’ve done many photo shoots with her over the years.)

What many don’t know about her is that she’s a phenomenal flow artist who expresses herself through the combination of urban dance and hoop. F

or the retreat, not only will she be documenting the beauty that’ll transform with her unique camera eye, but she’ll also be leading a class focused on musicality, beat punctuation, hearing the different layers in a tune and expressing the relationship to them.

Her own version of “Hip Hop Hoop” will be making its debut in Bali next March!

Bali Travel Tips
(this is excerpt from "Bali Travel Guide" - you'll get access to the entire guide which will answer all of your questions once you register)

PLEASE arrive at least by 2/28 to give yourself some time to get your bearings and depart from Bali after 5 p.m. (Bali time) on 3/11

your final destination is Denpasar Airport (DPS) and, depending on which airline, you'll likely come from China, Australia, Singapore, Japan or the Philippines

unless you’re paying with miles and know your level of service, we HIGHLY recommend that you take an international carrier from the U.S. west coast and NOT a U.S.-based carrier (if you’re coming from NYC, then take United/Delta/Virgin to SFO or LAX, then take something else from there). In fact, if you find a flight from the west coast on China Airlines, then get it! We’ve flown them a few times (Nova’s mom did too on our recommendation) - their prices are pretty good and we’ve found the service to be just fine

there should be many flights available, so pick the one which lands between 12 - 8 p.m. if possible (we understand price is a big factor) - while we will provide transportation to/from the airport, they must be at reasonable times

What’s Not Included in This Package

Transportation from airport if outside of reasonable hours (too early in the morning/too late at night)

Center

To inspire and create bridges of exchange, collaboration and understanding between people, traditions and cultures.

Any travellers looking for an unusual location will be delighted not only by Purnati’s grounds, but its unique clientele, which on any given afternoon can include such characters as politicians from Jakarta, spiritual masters from South America, or installation artists from New York City.

Based in Batuan, just south of Ubud, the cultural heart of Bali, Purnati is the perfect base from which to explore the island. We can organize trips and tours, and our staff members are knowledgeable about local performances and celebrations.

For the guest who needs a relaxing and culturally rich trip, we can arrange for Indonesian culture to be brought to Purnati, through performances, visits from craftsmen, or traditional artists, Yoga instructors and healers.

Whatever you wish to do, we are confident that Purnati can offer you an extraordinary stay in Bali.
